Comprehensive analysis of Amazon-related account violations and prevention strategies

On the Amazon platform, competition among sellers is becoming increasingly fierce, and the issue of related account violations has become a matter that sellers need to pay great attention to during their operations. The following will provide a detailed analysis of the reasons for Amazon-related account violations, how to deal with them, and how to effectively prevent such problems from occurring.

1. Reasons for violations of associated account

The main purpose of implementing the “single account” policy on the Amazon platform is to reduce the contact between buyers and bad sellers. Sellers who have multiple accounts in the same location may mislead consumers and limit other sellers’ opportunities to compete. Violations in associated accounts are mainly caused by the following aspects:

• IP address: If a seller uses the same IP address when logging into multiple Amazon accounts, it may be detected as a violation of the associated account. Each network device needs to have an independent IP address during the networking process, which is extremely important in operation.

• Corporate information: Such as legal representative ID card, business documents, etc. If the same company’s information is used to register multiple Amazon accounts, it may seriously violate Amazon’s policies.

• Email address: Using the same email address to register multiple Amazon stores will also be regarded as a violation of the associated account by Amazon.

• Bank card account number: If two different Amazon stores use the same bank card number for transactions, it will also be considered a violation.

2. Methods for handling illegal accounts

For related account violations, sellers can take the following measures:

• Identify the problem: First, the seller needs to identify the reason for the account closure. Amazon usually notifies sellers to remove selling permissions due to multiple account operations or the association of existing accounts with closed accounts. Sellers should compare all account information to quickly identify the problem.

• Negotiate: After the account is closed, the seller can try to appeal to Amazon to restore the account. Communication with Amazon should be kept positive, especially if the seller has legitimately opened multiple accounts and needs to prove that these accounts are independently operated.

• Provide records: If Amazon once allowed a seller to open multiple accounts, but then regretted and asked to close them, the seller can provide records and proof of communication with Amazon to help increase the chance of winning the case.

3. Strategies to prevent violations of associated accounts

In order to avoid related account violations, sellers can take the following measures in daily operations:

• Pay attention to real-name authentication information: Make sure to use different IP addresses and corporate information in the registration of different accounts to avoid association.

• Brand registration and market competition: Although sellers who have not registered their brands face more challenges with follow-up sales, effective strategies are still indispensable. By making differentiated improvements to their products, sellers can reduce the risk of being copied.

• Maintain brand reputation: Establish a good customer evaluation and feedback system, which can help consumers distinguish genuine products from counterfeit products, thereby improving the overall trust of the brand.

On Amazon, a highly competitive platform, sellers must always pay attention to various operational details to avoid losing the big for the small. Through strict management and strategies, we can improve our competitiveness while ensuring that accounts are operated in compliance with regulations.
